Syfy Presents Programming Slate At Upfront

At Syfy’s upfront presentation in New York today, president Dave Howe introduced what he said is the largest original programming slate in the channel’s 18-year history, featuring 14 new original series and movies comprising more than 100 hours.

The event was a hot ticket as it was held at the Foxwoods Theatre, where Syfy hosted a live performance for ad buyers of the much-talked about musical Spider-Man: Turn Off the Dark.Syfy is the official media partner of the Broadway show, a decision that no doubt sounded great when it was made before the musical was hit by a series of setbacks, including actor injuries, safety violations and abysmal reviews leading to a creative overhaul.

Syfy is coming off a year marked by disappointing ratings for Caprica and Stargate: Universe, both canceled after short runs. But with new series Being Human and Face Off both renewed and doing solid business this year, Q1-to-date Syfy is up 13% among total viewers and 7% in adults 18-49 vs. last year.

In July,Syfy will launch four scripted series in the same month — for the first time ever — new dramaAlphas and returning seriesWarehouse 13,Eureka andHaven.

I’m truly surprised at the foreshortened or limited vision of commercial television and movie here !

U.B. • on Mar 22, 2011 1:23 pm

This is what happens when a good idea gets sucked up by greed. There is no doubt that SOME of the shows are excellent (i.e. Warehouse13, Eureka, haven) In the attempt to increase viewership, those powers that be have put in things that only fit a very small profile, like wrestling! Who in thier right mind will pay for the SYFY Channel to watch wrestling? It is fantasy, true, fake obviously, so it would qualify as fiction, but it has no place on a channel that was originally intended to provide a new format to get past the junk that was being forced upon us by the corproate idiots. These people really do not have a clue of what we the viewers really do want to watch. So in that vien of irritation, I say that we have a revolution and hit them where it hurts, in the pocketbook! I was disgusted when they did the name change with the intent to broaden the market share, so i SAY WE TAKE IT OFF THE TABLE AND CREATE OUR OWN “sCI-fI” CHANNEL ON THE INTERNET. We couldn’t do much worse and it would give those outstanding new artists and programs a good venue. All those in favor say “Sci-Fi!”

Gordon • on Mar 22, 2011 1:23 pm

Astonishing. Half of this stuff has been done better elsewhere, and most of the rest is just plain crap. The suits running this channel have no idea of what they are doing. An infant could program this channel better than they are. At least “Eureka” and “Warehouse 13″ are back …

Cindy Owens • on Mar 22, 2011 1:23 pm

Thank you – my thoughts exactly. The only other series I watch on Sy Fy is Merlin. Now, another cable outfit is doing yet ANOTHER take on Arthur /Merlin, this time called Camelot. Includes gratuitous sex and stuff for those not entertained enough by the most probably superior Merlin series on now.

Anonymous • on Mar 22, 2011 1:23 pm

Talk about channel drift.

Of everything listed there, only Red Faction Origins (a video game adaptation), Roswell, and the previously announced Battlestar: Blood and Chrome actually qualify as science fiction. Paranormal, ethnographic, and craft-oriented reality shows and another teens with superpowers drama… Unless the definition of science fiction is now “anything that appeals to at least one of geeks or weirdos”, they’re channel drifting really badly.

Not that there’s anything wrong with non sci-fi content, but… look at it this way. I don’t watch the Golf channel and I don’t think many people do. But the people who do watch the Golf channel don’t want cooking shows, don’t want Donald Trump firing people, and don’t want 90210. If they wanted those shows, they’d watch other networks. It’s true that a network with 90210, the Apprentice, and cooking shows would almost certainly do better than the Golf Channel, but that’s not the point. If attracting the broadest possible audience at all costs with no actual network brand is the strategy, we’d end up with nothing but general purpose networks. Cable is supposed to enable niche performers, like the Golf channel and like Sci-Fi.

The initial name change from Sci-Fi to SyFy was controversial and attracted criticism from fans and executives alike; I remember Tim Brooks who was Sci-Fi’s original programmer in particular being a little outspoken. The response from the network? Well, we’re not going to be an “only” network. We won’t “only” show Sci-Fi. We’ll show other stuff too. But that’s a slippery slope, just like when TLC wasn’t “only” a learning network and when Discovery wasn’t “only” a science network and MTV wasn’t “only” a music video network.

sparced • on Mar 22, 2011 1:23 pm

the name change was a clear sign on their part that they were going to start producing a lot more content outside of Science Fiction. They didn’t want to be stuck to just that genre using the old SciFi name. The execs said that pretty clearly at the time.

MTV recently got rid of their “music television” caption for the US market.

These channels are changing and going after a larger audience. It’s not surprising at all.

Anonymous • on Mar 22, 2011 1:23 pm

Yes, I understand why they do it, but like I mentioned with my Golf Channel analogy, channel drift is infuriating even if it does result in higher ratings, because no one wants a television service full of generic, aimless content channels. If we wanted nothing but the Big 4, we wouldn’t pay for cable, would we? The idea is that Cable should be able to push the boundaries in terms of content. And that doesn’t just mean adult-oriented content, it also means content that appeals to narrower, niche, specific audiences.

I’m a fan of plants and gardening. I know not everyone is. I know not everyone is. I know HGTV would have a bigger audience if it broadcasted Nascar or WWE or Boxing or American Idol or Law and Order. That doesn’t mean it’s a good idea for them to do that, and it’s especially not a good idea to do that if gardening-related content doesn’t exist anywhere else on television.

jeff • on Mar 22, 2011 1:23 pm

Being Human is the best show they got..!!

John Keller • on Mar 22, 2011 1:23 pm

Syfy has not real sense of what we want. Caprica had bad ratings? Thy following a series that runs for three or four episodes then disappears without a word and returns without and notice months later! I would rather watch Babylon 5 reruns on iTunes than any of the junk they are talking about here. Syfy has lost me forever as a viewer.

Laura • on Mar 22, 2011 1:23 pm

Pulling out part of your comment here….
You’re completely right about the way they schedule their programming! How can they expect to get good ratings when the viewers can’t figure out when things are on? I watch three shows on SyFy religiously (Eureka, Warehouse 13, and Haven) and catch some of the others when I can. Do they realize how difficult it is to figure out when episodes will be on? You’ll turn it on for its supposed time slot, but they won’t be airing that week. You’ll pop up their website and it won’t say anything about taking a week off. Then they’ll have another episode or two. Then mid-season (for normal television!) they’ll have a finale. You won’t be able to find any information about when they’ll be back on. You’ll forget about the show. Months later, without much notice at all, they’ll pop the show back on for another awkardly-timed series of like 6 episodes. And repeat.

What is up with the short series runs? Why do they start and end them at completely random times not in line with other networks? And worst of all, why is there no communication about when they’ll be on?! You have a website. Use it.

Kat • on Mar 22, 2011 1:23 pm

I agree completely! I don’t have cable, I watch on hulu mostly but I run into the same thing. I love Warehouse 13 and Eureka but I can never figure out when I’ll be seeing new episodes. I thought they had both been canceled it had been so long!

John Cohen • on Mar 22, 2011 1:23 pm

Three Inches, In the Dark, & Me and Lee sound interesting. Will give them a shot.

Cohen O'Brien • on Mar 22, 2011 1:23 pm

In the Dark sounds fun. The rest = pure garbage. Is the cast of Jersey Shore running programming over at SiffyLube? PURE dribble.

Robert Curtis • on Mar 22, 2011 1:23 pm

It is true. There is not much SciiFi in the SyFy channel. Disappointing because the SciFi channel is the only reason I purchase cable tv. My wife will be happy. The savings are about 90 dollars a month when we drop tv and reduce our COX subscription to just high speed internet.

HoneyBadger • on Mar 22, 2011 1:23 pm

They killed Caprica and SG/U without giving them any room to grow and they’ve dumbed down Eureka and Warehouse 13 to moronism. I will still watch the crap movies for a night light but I am finished with SYFY.

pilarcita • on Mar 22, 2011 1:23 pm

Being Human is a cheap knockoff of a MUCH better BBC show by the same name.

katrinka • on Mar 22, 2011 1:23 pm

Yes! LOVE the BBC version!

Skip T. • on Mar 22, 2011 1:23 pm

I didn’t like “Being Human” on BBC so I probably won’t like it here, also what does horor have to do with SciFi.

Mike • on Mar 22, 2011 1:23 pm

you said it… what a rip off.. stop copying good shows and makeing them into crap in the USA……

Erika • on Mar 22, 2011 1:23 pm

I can’t wait for BSG Blood & Chrome. Luke Pasqualino is great.

AC • on Mar 22, 2011 1:23 pm

Everyone needs to stop wishing Syfy were SciFi and that SciFi were programming science fiction. That ship has sailed and it’s not coming back. So then what is syfy? It’s a mish mosh of shots at a bunch of different ideas whose lack of cohesion speaks to the reatlity that networks are irrelevant and the show is all that matters. If 1, 2 or 5 of these shows work, and yet have absolutiely nothing in common from a programming flow standpoint then it won’t matter that the other 10 have failed. A successful show can pay for a lot of mistakes. People want to program their own networks; particularly the Syfy demo. It’s a survival of the fittest time in film and television and everyone is trying to find their brass ring.

Lost in Space • on Mar 22, 2011 1:23 pm

Not that you’re wrong, exactly. But there’s a world of difference between a cable network with a coherent brand and a jumble of shows. USA has done a brilliant job of branding a network. Their shows have consistency. If you like one, you’ll probably like the others. Then all the marketing cross-fertilizes shows.

Syfy does not have that thematic coherence, in part because they’ve adopted a “blue sky” policy toward their shows. Maybe that makes them easier to shoot in Canada, but it sure as hell isn’t science fiction.

The two best genre shows on cable are on AMC (Walking Dead) and HBO (True Blood). I expect “Game of Thrones” will be number 3. That should be profoundly embarrassing for a network that defines itself as a genre channel. Subscription fees be damned — the long-tail life-cycle of good genre isn’t just years, it’s decades. The money is there if they’d produce the quality that earns it. Given that most of their scripted series are done through their in-house studio, the only excuse for not doing things right is short-sightedness.

John Whorfin • on Mar 22, 2011 1:23 pm

Imagine Greater.

TWR • on Mar 22, 2011 1:23 pm

So say we all.

Craig • on Mar 22, 2011 1:23 pm

I have thoroughly been disappointed in SyFy channel, I knew it would go down hill once NBC/Universal took over and SYFY changed it’s name. Think they need to go back to showing classic Sci-Fi series.

Just a note in the golf channel comments. I wouldn’t be at all surprised to find that the golf channel more than likely has better veiwership than syfy, or at least comparable.

Mr_explosion • on Mar 22, 2011 1:23 pm

SciFi used to be my favorite channel. I watched it more than any of the big four networks. Now, seeing their current programming slate, I can safely remove it from my program guide, along with Lifetime and QVC. Clearly there’s nothing there worth watching.

Ralph Jones • on Mar 22, 2011 1:23 pm

Syfy really is on the downhill slope. All of this reality programming really ruins it for me. Though Snowmageddon sounds like something I want to see. I’m really happy Doctor Who is on BBC America, because it was too good of a show for Syfy to be able to handle.

Cash • on Mar 22, 2011 1:23 pm

While I’m not shocked, I am extremely disappointed by the number of “reality” shows versus scripted one hours. I guess this is what happens when the new boss is a flack that was booted from Lifetime. Oh well, at least I have my DVD collection to keep me company.

robert curtis • on Mar 22, 2011 1:23 pm

after takeing a look at this line up and knowing what they have done with the shows that they have going the shows that they have cancled.i just cant believe they think they can copete with any networks.they have had several shows that had great promise and trashed them.just to put the so called reality shows tike ghost hunters.looks like another year with vary little scify at the scify channel.

cat • on Mar 22, 2011 1:23 pm

Why can’t Sci-Fi just show Sci-Fi shows, and stop all these useless reality stuff. Bring back the classic shows and try to pick up some of the old classics…really what else does Sci-Fi stand for but sci-fi shows…and get rid of the stupid wrestling, it has nothing to do with Sci-Fi..

Clay Wilder • on Mar 22, 2011 1:23 pm

The SYFY channel is exactly that…suppose to be sci-fi and not fairy tale as in wrestling…get the wanna-be fake wrestling stuff odd of the SYFY channel and return to what you do best and show sci-fi stuff.

Wadle • on Mar 22, 2011 1:23 pm

I cannot believe how far downhill SciFi has went. No season without any Stargate series? They cancel Stargate Universe instead of getting new writers? Thank God Eureka and Warehouse 13 are coming back. I expect to see the SciFi Channel gone soon. Replaced by something even less entertaining. Funny how just 4 years back they had a firm control of Friday evening. Now they have nothing except two decent shows.

Scott • on Mar 22, 2011 1:23 pm

I dont see any thing on hear thats good but the Battle Star Galactica movie and Red Faction, this channel has really started to go down hill. kinda like ABC network, they kill really epic shows before they even had a chance. Caprica was really epic and so was SGU, but the big wigs said they got poor ratings, well what the hell you show a few episodes than put it on hold for months than bring it back and show a few more episods, you dont even give the show a chance to grow. and im really sick of reality shows that stuffs just getting old it seems like everytime a network cancels a good show the try to fill the slot with a reality show, its just gitting kinda lame.
